Softcover. Condition: Good. Although the term resistance appears infrequently in A Course in Miracles, it is nonetheless a key concept in students' learning the mind-changing lessons of forgiveness that are the Course's central teaching. Indeed, it is the only concept that can satisfactorily explain a phenomenon experienced by most students at some point in their work with the Course. This is the paradox of sincerely attempting to learn and live its principles under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, while experiencing the ongoing frustration of not doing just that. This paradox is the topic explored in this book, which consists of an edited transcription of a talk given to a group of students by Kenneth Wapnick, supplemented with two articles, co-authored with his wife Gloria, that appeared in the Foundation's newsletter, "The Lighthouse." The focus is on the many forms of resistance, and their basis in the fear of love. Freud's valuable insights are discussed, along with Jesus' role in helping us look without judgment at our investment in maintaining the ego's thought system-the miracle that resolves the paradox.

In a discussion with three students of A Course in Miracles, Kenneth points out the ego dynamics involved, and how forgiveness and the choice to accept the Holy Spirit's purpose of experiencing the peace of God, rather than the ego's purpose of fostering guilt, can be applied to the issues raised.

Softcover. Condition: Good. The subject of this book drew its inspiration from the image of an arch immortalized by D. H. Lawrence in his novel "The Rainbow." As the child in the story was freed to live her life framed by the pillars of love and strength represented by her parents, so Jesus asks us to view our daily lives as framed between the pillars of forgiveness and his love, allowing their quiet strength and gentle protection to nourish our experience and sustain our learning. We thus grow in our recognition of the contrast between life under the arch of his love and life outside it. Walt Whitman's thoughts also lend their inspiration to the life of universal love and compassion under the arch: "Whoever degrades another degrades me. And whatever is done or said returns at last to me." The discussion includes guiding students in resolving their specific dilemmas and conflicts from the perspective of Jesus' arch of forgiveness.

From the Preface: Over the many years we have been teaching A Course in Miracles, it has become apparent that its radical message has often been a source of much confusion, misunderstanding, and distortion. It is our aim to help clarify Course principles-through this question-and-answer format-in order to facilitate greater understanding and application of its thought system. The 72 questions are arranged by topics including Jesus, the metaphysics, application, form, language, and the curriculum of A Course in Miracles. UPDATE February 2022 All typos from the previous Kindle publication have been corrected.

Softcover. Condition: Good. 6th. Now has a different dream come into the world: a dream of the Holy Spirit's justice in place of the ego's nightmare. Now can salvation's joyous song ring out through us from Him to all the world still enslaved by thoughts of sin. What died on the cross was the belief in the cross. What lives is the exultant cry of forgiveness, shouted in gladness by all who choose to live again with Jesus, that this call of love to love will nevermore be silenced. "Let this call live, my brothers and sisters," Jesus asks of us, "and let it live through your forgiveness of the world and of yourselves. Now we begin again, and what we have begun, God Himself has promised to complete." (From the Epilogue)Many students and would-be students of A Course in Miracles have found the Course's Christian context and emphasis on Jesus problematic, regardless of their own religious background. These problems have interfered with many students' study and understanding of the Course. In response to these difficulties, Forgiveness and Jesus addresses the misunderstandings of traditional Christianity, separating these out from the teachings of the Course, and emphasizes the importance of correcting these errors in the context of the two-thousand-year-old tradition.Forgiveness and Jesus first discusses in depth the principles of A Course in Miracles, specifically focusing on the dynamics of the ego and the meaning of forgiveness. The book next presents the teachings of Christianity in the light of the principles of the Course, highlighting the similarities and differences. Throughout the book, special attention is given to the application of the Course's principles to important areas in our lives such as injustice, anger, sickness, sexuality, and money. The person of Jesus is also discussed in depth. The Appendix includes an index of names, a subject index, an index of examples, and a scriptural index.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. This second book on kindness centers on two statements of caution Jesus offers in A Course in Miracles. Characteristic of his gentle guidance, he tells us not to be disturbed by the shadows surrounding our little willingness to learn from him, and not to despair because of our limitations. These cautions were the themes of two workshops presented at our center-Shadows of Limitation and Sweet Are the Uses of Adversity-that form the basis of this book. If we identify with the ego, our limitations become cause for comparison and judgment, and thereby impel us to seek ways to overcome the imperfections in our bodies and the world. This focus serves the ego's purpose of concealing the mind's decision for guilt, substituting a limited self for the unlimited Self of Christ. Identifying with the loving Presence of the Holy Spirit in our right minds, we recognize our self-defeating choice, thus allowing true correction to heal. We now look kindly on our imperfections, redefining them not as our reality but as mere detours on our journey home. These shadows of limitation become the contours of the classroom that Jesus uses to teach us his kind lessons of forgiveness. Thus do they ultimately fade in the light of the Atonement, in which we are all joined as the one perfect Son of God.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Second. The idea for this book originated with a talk given at the end of a week-long class on sickness and healing at our Center. The teaching staff was struck by the paradox of students on the one hand spending a week discussing healing, in terms of forgiveness and undoing separation, and on the other, fervently practicing judgment and condemnation of each other, directly opposite to the kind, gentle tone of Jesus' words in A Course in Miracles. This talk thus was devoted to the kindness of healing, in hopes of reinforcing Jesus' message of undoing separation. Kindness reflects our inherent oneness with each other, while attack drives us still further apart in our awareness. In reviewing the principles of sickness and healing and some common misapplications, the discussion in this book helps us undo the sources of unkindness, so that in all our interactions we would reflect the Source of kindness. It is hoped that this little book will serve to remind us all of the need to be kind, the spiritual principle par excellence.

Softcover. Condition: Good. 2nd. Time is a trick, a sleight of hand, a vast illusion in which figures come and go as if by magic. Yet there is a plan behind appearances that does not change. The script is written. When experience will come to end your doubting has been set. For we but see the journey from the point at which it ended, looking back on it, imagining we make it once again; reviewing mentally what has gone by. (Workbook Lesson 158)The concept of time is central to the thought system ofA Course in Miracles, from a metaphysical point of view as well as our experience in the everyday world. And yet time is clearly the most difficult area in the Course to understand. This is so not only because of the subject matter, but because the Course for the most part refrains from an in-depth discussion of a concept that is beyond the comprehension of a temporal-spatial mind. However, in one passage Jesus specifically states that to understand the Atonement plan, one must understand the concept of time that the Course sets forth. This book therefore discusses the various aspects of time that are the foundation for the Course's teachings of forgiveness.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. The Message of 'A Course in Miracles' is a two-part work, the purpose of which is to provide a comprehensive overview of the teachings of 'A Course in Miracles,' with discussion and guidelines on how to avoid some common misconceptions of these teachings. Volume One, All Are Called, could indeed carry the subtitle, 'What A Course in Miracles Says,' while Volume Two, Few Choose to Listen, could be subtitled 'What A Course in Miracles Does Not Say.' The focus of the first volume is therefore on what the Course actually teaches, while the sequel focuses on the ways in which students have misunderstood 'A Course in Miracles,' not only believing it is teaching something it is not, but also denying what its message truly is. The first book provides students somewhat acquainted with the teachings of 'A Course in Miracles' with a summary which will help meet their needs for an in-depth presentation of the Course's principles, including a discussion of the practical implications of these principles with regard to religious and spiritual practice, and ethical, moral, and behavioral issues.The purpose of Few Choose to Listen, as stated in the Introduction is 'to guide students in how to avoid certain potential mistakes or confusions as they read, study, and implement into their daily lives the teachings of 'A Course in Miracles.' Such sidestepping of errors will, it is hoped, be of help in clearing the way for the student to be more accessible to the Holy Spirit's 'particular care and guidance' (M-29.2:6).'

Softcover. Condition: Good. This book consists of a substantial expansion of the discussion in The Obstacles to Peace, first published in 1987. In revising his earlier work, Kenneth has added an extensive introduction and epilogue, and tripled the discussion, including many more references to other passages in the Course. In addition, the old question-and-answer format has been changed to enhance the flow of the material."The Obstacles to Peace" sections present the important themes in "A Course in Miracles," stated in powerful and beautiful language as well. These range from the metaphysical theme of how God did not create the world and the body-and indeed knows absolutely nothing about them-to the specific teachings on the projection of guilt, and its undoing through the practice of forgiveness in our special relationships. There are also some incisive passages where Jesus speaks of himself and the projections that have been put upon him, emphasizing the important role the ego has given him in its thought system. This distortion is corrected by Jesus making clear the nature of the role he has in his thought system, undoing the ego through helping us to change our minds about what we think and perceive.

Softcover. Condition: Good. 2-book set. The focus of these two books is on what it means to be a right-minded parent and a right-minded child. The former role involves being faithful to the changing function of parent, at the same time respecting the child's mind to choose its life experiences, and whether to perceive them through the eyes of the ego or the Holy Spirit. The latter role expresses the meaning of Freud's insightful statement: "The liberation of an individual, as he grows up, from the authority of his parents is one of the most necessary though one of the most painful results brought about by the course of his development." In other words, we know we have attained spiritual maturity when we no longer think of our parents or parental surrogates as authorities on the level of content but as brother and sister walking with us the path that leads us home. Thus, both forms of this primary relationship can, if we so choose, exemplify Jesus' message of forgiveness: not seeing another's interests as separate from our own. After a commentary on a special message from Jesus to William Thetford, the discussion of these themes is conducted largely in the context of specific issues raised by students at various classes and workshops. These issues fall within four major categories: Parents Rearing Children; Parents and Adult Children; The Adult Child; Caring for Elderly Parents.

As the commentary in these four volumes reveals, their motivations and feelings are different aspects of the thought system of specialness we all share; and had these characters chosen the path of compassion and forgiveness, the thought system of healing we all likewise share, the ensuing outcome would surely not have been tragic. A Course in Miracles teaches us that choosing the Holy Spirit rather than the ego enables us to smile at the ego's silliness as we stand free of its insanity and viciousness.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. 'The body was not made by love. Yet love does not condemn it and can use it lovingly, respecting what the Son of God has made and using it to save him from illusions.' (Text, Chapter 18). 'By declaring the phenomenal universe to be the work of the illusory ego, though not inherently evil or sinful, the Course gently resolves the great Platonic paradox of living in an imperfect, visible, and material world, yet knowing of a spiritual world whose Source is perfect and good.' (From the Preface) This book is an in-depth exploration of the non-dualistic metaphysics of 'A Course in Miracles,' and its integration with living in this fundamentally illusory world. It discusses how the Course resolves the God-world paradox that has existed in the Western world since the time of Plato namely, how an imperfect material universe could result from a perfect immaterial Creator. Thus, the context of this exploration is the Platonic and Gnostic themes that have run through Western intellectual and religious history, and the similarities and contrasts between these and the Course. Love Does Not Condemn is in three parts: the first part introduces the Gnostics, Platonists, and the Church-Gnostic conflict of the first two centuries A.D.; the second discusses a seven-stage myth, as understood by Platonism, Christianity, Gnosticism, and A Course in Miracles; the third compares and contrasts the four approaches in light of the God-world paradox, and concludes with a discussion of the errors common to the Gnostics and many students of the Course. The appendix includes the complete text of the important Gnostic document "The Gospel of Truth," glossary of terms, table of dates, bibliography, subject and name index, and an index of Course references.
